Hi Adam,

I do actually meant  to create below config based on parameters entered
into a form.

We have a lot circuits to provision over time and it is being performed by
human. It'll be good if we can have some system to fire some script to the
equipment without human interaction, based on the CRM input parameter.

What is the best mechanism for this? EEM? Customize OSS, SDN etc? Any
sharing from the group?

Rgd
Darren
